    摘要: A memory system is functionally designed so that, despite operation without an error correction device, memory chips of a memory module that are actually provided for error correction are concomitantly used for the data transfer. A control device is configured to receive, store and transfer data packets to and from a first and second set of memory chips. Transfer of an internal packet data from the control device to memory takes place such that a first record is stored in a second set of memory chips and additional records are stored in the first set of memory chips. In preferred embodiments, data is allocated in the second set of memory chips such that at least one additional transfer step takes place to the second set of memory chips compared with transfers to the first set of memory chips. In the additional transfer step(s), the first set of memory chips is masked from receiving data.

    摘要: The invention relates to a semiconductor memory module having a plurality of memory chips arranged next to one another in a row. The memory module has a module-internal clock, command/address and data bus which transfers clock signal, command and address signals and also data signals from a memory controller device to the memory chips and data signals from the memory chips to the memory controller device. The memory module has respective clock, command/address and data signal lines. The clock signal lines comprise two differential clock signal lines which, at their end opposite to the memory controller device are either open or connected to one another by a short-circuiting bridge. The memory chips, during a write operation, synchronize the write data with the clock signal running from the memory controller device to the end of the clock signal line and, during a read operation, output the read data synchronously with the clock signal reflected from the open or short-circuited end of the clock signal lines.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory system is proposed, in which the transmission of memory data of a burst that follows command/address data of a write/read command is identified by means of a modified clock signal. The modified clock signal has identifying regions with masked-out clock edges, so that the transmission of memory data can be signalled with the clock edge following the identifying regions.
